ToroDB: Supercharging your RDBMS with MongoDB super powers

Description

Are you a DBA/devops tired of being asked to also support MongoDB? Wouldn't it be cool if your current RDBMS could support MongoDB... without having a MongoDB server?

Would you like to enable your RDBMS to accept true unstructured data with MongoDB's famous API, while still offering ACID-like capabilities?

ToroDB is an open source project that turns your RDBMS into a MongoDB-compatible server, supporting the MongoDB query API, MongoDB's replication, and both OLTP and OLAP/DW workloads.

ToroDB natively implements the MongoDB protocol and features a document-to-relational mapping algorithm that transforms the JSON documents into relational tables. ToroDB also offers transactions, a native SQL API and automatic data normalization and partitioning based on JSON document's implicit schema.

If you want to have a RDBMS and MongoDB on the same system, you can't miss this talk!
